I finally unsubscribed from /r/politics. I've had enough. Some liberals just have their heads so far up their asses, and I don't want to be associated with them any longer. It's nice being able to simply unsubscribe to nonsense, and it's just magically gone from your life.

Although if you're Australian, you probably weren't subscribed there anyway.

Reddit hated Kony2012. Chick Fil A was adored and people made it a point to go there and tell others how stupid they were. There's two reddits in general, the submissions and the commentors.

The commentors are your typical bro type south park conservative who thinks everything is stupid and fake and always tries their hardest to insult everyone and to talk down everything, and then there's the slightly more liberal submitters who usually end up getting insulted in the comments even if their submission gets upvoted.

Every time I see a topic about Kony, Chick Fil A, Papa Johns...the comments are full of you people telling everyone that they're idiots and need to shut the fuck up. You people won your bro battle against the 'hipsters' a long time ago.

Actually I propose that whoever is commenting in a certain thread is simply more likely to not like or agree with the original post. See, if you liked and agreed with it, you'd upvote and move on. The only time you check comments is if you disagree, want to bitch, or have something witty to say. For example, most commenters in /r/science are not at all like what you described, but often times the top comment is somebody debunking a sensationalist headline or something.

There certainly seems to be a growing group of "extreme liberals" who are going to hurt their party, the same way the extreme right hurt their party. If things continue the way they're going, I do no predict another Dem win in 2016.

As an another Australian I have been following these stories and I actually am hoping that the people of America boycott this assholes business and take a pro active role in disciplining Rich bastards like John Schnatter

Disagree totally. I read about this an apparently this fucking ass hat is ensuring his employees work just under the threshold so that he does not have to provide them a form of health insurance. Combine this with the size of his house and one conclusion can be drawn, the guy is a COMPLETE FUCKING CUNT.

Well no shit the employees who are salaried have good insurance you shit. We don't care about those people. This bill was passed to ensure those who couldn't afford insurance on their own would get assistance from their workplace. The little man is getting boned by this not the salaried career men. Come on man, get your act together.

John is saying that his franchise owners are the ones getting hit, not him. By making insurance a requirement for businesses of a certain size you will see a lot of small business owners not expanding beyond that number simply because of the jump in overhead. Numerous franchise operations are feeling the same pinch.

Ok well if I am mistaken I apologise. Just pisses me off that a country like the US (where alot of the population claim it to be the best country in the world) wont give all of its citizens free health care. If the "best" country in the world cant even look after its own what hope does humanity hold towards eliminating things like poverty in places like Africa? Answer no hope. Its disgusting.

No, but if the business man in question is deliberately manipulating how his business runs to exploit a system that is designed to help those who cant help themselves so that he saves money (lives in extreme affluence) and they lose out then yes he is a cunt. Thats what I dont understand about the US, they have a huge religious population so the care of the underprivileged should be foremost in their mind, the statue of liberty says something like looking after the poor sick and weak yet they oppose universal health care? WTF?
Anyway like I said in the previous post if I have my facts wrong I do sincerely apologise. There is always two sides to every story and as I dont live in the US I prob do not have all the facts relevant.

The thing is that you DO have your facts wrong. John isn't going to be cutting hours because most of his corprate employees are salary and already have insurance benefits! He is saying the small businesses (franchises) with smaller margins and high labor costs/benefits costs will have to reduce hours.

Sorry but that isn't how franchises work. Why should one business be able to tell a subsidiary that they can't make money or limit how much money they can make? That doesn't make Mr. Schnatter a bad guy, he is simply operating within the franchise agreements already in place.

Seriously why should the business owner not be able to make some money so that you can feel vindicated. I would argue that healthcare is a luxury and not a right. Luxuries need to be paid for by the person receiving the benefit, not their employer.

Heck 60+ years ago nobody had employer sponsored health insurance, then large companies started using it instead of pay increases to give a non taxed benefit to their employees.

I pay for my healthcare from my own pocket (small business owner), I plan ahead and only get what I need done.

I think that people who have government sponsored health insurance & have never had to be responsible for its costs, have a bit to much invested into Mr. Schnatter's views on the subject which will never effect them.

Agreed. But whatever right, this is Australia. Why should we give a good god damn about anything that happens in the rest of the world? It's not as if Americans are also humans, and we should be just as disgusted about them being treated like cattle, even if it doesn't affect us.

Because everyone loves your ignorant racist Australian 'fuck off cunt' attitude. For some reason Australians are the accepted and loved shitheads of the developed world. I personally hate it, but I can't help but think it's true.

Everyone thinks Australians are so hard, they hate everyone and think everything is cunt, all they want to do is drink beer and eat meat all day, yeah, what heroes!

Do not let the opinions of a few sully your thoughts of Australia. Speak to people who come here and they'll tell you we're tops. We don't hate everything, we don't think everyone is a cunt and what's wrong with enjoying a beer at a barbecue? Take it easy, chief. We're laidback. Maybe you should take a page out of our book.

Am I the only one who thinks that that applies to every country in the world? Sure, you can listen to the stereotypes but don't take it to heart - go there yourself. America, Australia, United Kingdom, France, Japan, Russia, South Africa - whatever!

If you actually read the posts, they're not complaining about paying an extra 50c. Actually most of them are saying they have no problem paying an extra 50c if it means the workers there get health cover. They're complaining because the guy said a 14c rise would cover the healthcare, and now he's increasing it by 50c, firing workers and rehiring them parttime so he doesn't have to give them health cover, and blaming it on Obamacare.

There's a serious problem going on in America right now due to business owners being total assholes and trying to treat their workers like crap. It matters, and we should care just as much. People here care about live exports because it's cruel to CATTLE, and we can't bring ourselves to give a damn about people in a western world country that we deal with on a daily basis allowing their people to be paid so little they can't live on it.

Having your hours cut is not firing someone and re-hiring them. If the employees don't like the new hours, they are free to leave and get a different job. This is a free market we have in the US afterall.

Yea here in england the one and only time I have ever seen a papa johns was in the Haven park at weymouth. We had one a couple of times it was nothing special so you can count me in with the boycott. Fuck em I will never spend another penny in their shops should I ever see one again.

They're going to cut hours and hire more people so that no one is over the number of hours that would qualify them for free healthcare, and also raise the prices.

Not sure how much they plan to raise the prices but if it gets too expensive everyone will just order Dominos instead as Papa Johns is barely better anyway. Not to mention hiring a bunch of people for low hours means the quality of service and food will drop dramatically.

Basically he's pissed off his party didn't win so now he's throwing a temper tantrum and inviting the media to watch. Maybe he's hoping rebuplicans will support him. Too bad mostly poor people order pizza and poor people tend to be democrats.

Well statistically it doesn't quite work that way. Plus there is no reason to vote republican as a poor person, they are just going to give tax cuts to the rich. Any poor person that has voted republican since they started believing in trickle-down economics (aka Reaganomics) is retarded.

Chain pizza isn't the best option in any cities but in a lot of them the independent places don't stay open after 10. I live in LA, not known for its pizza, and there are plenty of independent places that make much better pizza than the chain companies for around the same price. But after 10 its chain or nothing.

Hey its not like we've recieved much support or sympathy from you when we bitched about our carbon tax increasing our power bills by an average 18%, or how console games are nearly 30% extra from what you pay for that matter. What's a 50c price hike worth asking for our sympathy?

This is my situation. There's one boston-italian style pizzeria and a napoletano style pizzeria around here that are pretty good, but literally every other pizza place is worse than the chains.

Plus, the napoletano style pizza is so different from American pizza that it's not really an alternative to the lack of good American style pizza places. It's like hungering for a good hot dog, and someone offering you a sausage.

Dude, try not to be a complete asshole. The papa johns posts weren't about moaning about food. They're about rich white bastards eliminating people's jobs because they want to make a point about why they shouldn't have to contribute to people not dying or curable diseases.

As an American I also don't care. Don't vote for a President that openly said he's going to raise taxes if you don't want things to get more expensive. Idiots. What was the plan there? Elect him, then just use reddit to pressure businesses into not raising prices? Lol, idiots.

Far from it, actually. They used to be really awful and didn't even hand toss the dough. They still use cheap ingredients, vegi's come pre-cut and all the ingredients basically come in giant lunchables pizza style plastic bags. But the dough is real dough at least now. There is much worse pizza out there.

That said it is pretty awful. But definitely not the worst and it's getting better (well it was until they started pouring garlic salt all over the crust).

Not that Papa Johns is fantastic pizza, but after visiting the Melbourne area last year, you Aussies have a very strange idea of what a pizza is and may benefit from a good slice of Papa Johns (or preferably a local mom and pop). Then you'd understand why Pizza is such a big deal here :)

I hate when anything against America is downvoted, but Americans can speak freely of other countries and nobody bats an eyelid. I also hate how the front page is full of American bullshit humour that has absolutely no effect on me, but ends up there anyway, I hate how every 4th of July the front page is dominated with 'Murica bullshit posts, yet today it's the 11th of the 11th- Armistice day of WW1, remembrance day in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc, yet not one fucking post is about it.
